What is it you need!?

Hello everyone,

My name is *mod edit*, I have just joined this forum as I work in this field (im not sure im allowed to say exactly).

I have come here because I am just trying to find out more information about people rather than anxiety, I have learnt a lot about anxiety over the last few years but not many text books/ training courses/ websites actually focus on what is behind the anxiety.

My question is simple but complex, when you experience anxiety what is it that you need? What would stop it?

I would really appreciate replies and I look forward to chatting with everyone soon

Thanks

Jak

I generally turn to music. Classical. It relaxes me, helps me get rid of the anxiety. That or I turn to a video game, generally a racing one. I have an "anxiety drink," which is a drink that relaxes me. It used to be Gold Peak raspberry tea, but now it's chocolate milk. I don't smoke, I drink on occasion, but drinking isn't what i use to help with anxiety, and I do not recommend it to help with anything either.

Thank you for taking time to leave a message tyler, have you tried anything in the forms of therapy to help reduce your anxiety?

Usually I do stuff similar to what Tyler said.

I constantly listen to music, play video games, and keep myself busy - indoors or outdoors.
I'm generally always anxious to some extent.

Other things I do is write, watch YouTube videos, play guitar and sing.

If my anxiety is REALLY bad, I'll either take a PRN like Vistaril or extra Zyprexa - but usually that's when I'm having a panic attack of some sorts.
